To alllwhom t may concern.'

Be 1t known that l, JOHN L. Kun., a citizen of the United States ofi-America, resid- 'ing at Plainview, in the ycountylof Pierce and State of Nebraska, have invented certain., new and` useful Improvements 4in Saw- Filing Machines, of which the following is a specific'ation'.` v i i My invention Y relates generally to improvenientsinv that class of saw filing machines by which the toothed edge'of a saw blade is longitudinally carried, in step-bystep movements according with the spacings or number of teeth to an inch of length of the saw, to receive the action of a rotary file matically. centering as to the thickness of vthe saw-blade andthe position of the revolv- Y. Y ing file; fourth., to provide guide-ways and an intermittent fastening lock for the sawcarriage bypwhich the carriage will be rigidly held at a predetermined position vertically and laterally during the action of the file, but yieldably and releasably held vto facilitate the longitudinal step-by-step movements and the complete separation of the carriage from the machine; fifth, to providean arrangement of carriages each Y having two toothed-racks suitably Vnominatedand arranged thereon, whereby, a single carriage i will correctly carry either of four saws of differently spaced or sized teeth and allow the requisite changes tobe made from one saw to another without tendency to mistakes; and, sixth, to simplify'` and render more vf-:flicient 'the step-by-step-mechanism for the carriage and the accordantintermittent saw clamp action connected therewith,

'than that disclosed in my UQ S. Patent No.'

To maintain this'centerin'g adjustment for thervariable fand' .different thicknesses osaw lblades,

Y V clamped by the stationary lower jawf and 'Y fthe movable upperjaw 21,1l provide a construction `as' follows; i

v ;Forfthe difference "infth'icknesses Vof fan i Y Athe top iandfbottom rails ofthe frame. provides lthe:necessary space 'between-Y th'ej aws v V@offtlie-;cl'amp to accommodate "the thickest blade', and still have the rails 'suliiciently fileactuating mechanism being secured to 'are deflected apartby the stress from the Vimn'fement, by mechanism also mounted on rigid that the jaws will securely clamp the thinnest blade. The constructions of the bottom rail, and the top rail with its numerous -attached elements, are such that the deflection caused by the closing clamp is 'substantially the saine in each, and the jaws are disposed at the centers of these railsto'full'y produce and utilize such deflection. The upper support arm 14 of the the bracket 9 on the top rail, by the pivoting screw 18, and the lower arm 15, in like manner secured to the bracket 1201i the lower rail, it is obvious, that, if the support rails S0 closed clamp, the pivot ends of the support arms will likewise be deflected apart and 4the centering"adjustment of the leand saw .j blade will remain undisturbed.

And this Vautoma-tic maintenance ot adjustment holds ,good even when theY deflections of the yop- Yposed rails' are unequal. As further descrip tion will sho`\v :-the mechanism that vactuates the movable' jaw isV all mounted on the ltop rail and the support-plate 7, therefore there'is no bar or disturbance of this adjustyment byanyextrinsic force; likewise, that the saw carriage is firmlyfastened to the support-plate only at 'the end of a step the support-plate, acting at right angles to the rforce that closes the clamp, and only LRi/'hen the, clamp is fclosed; therefore, the connections and actions of these parts do not j effect the centering adjustment of the file to 10o the saw-blade. v

The mechanical andtabular means for selectively adjusting the machine to a required length of step-by-step movement ot' the saw carriage according with the number .of teeth in a `unit of measurement of the 'length of the sawto be filed, in principle is substantially like that ofmy existing patent, mentioned above, and is only briefly described here as follows :-The top rail Jr, 11o channeled on its -back to seat the base G olf the vsupport-plate 7, for horizontal endwise sliding movement thereon,l has the slots 2:2 and 22' to take the Shanks of the fastening Yscrews 23 and Q3 4threaded in corresponding` 115 apertures 1n said base. 'A set pin 24, is selectively seated in an aperture through the :rail, designated by the numeral 8, in the setting shown, corresponding. to the number Avof teeth to a lineal inch ofthe saw 17, shown kfastened inthe carriage,-see Figs. 1 and l. rlhe pin '1s also seated in the correspondmg` Yperforation in thebase of the support-plate, as shown in Fig. 5, which brings the support-plate to a. position in which the step `mechanism thereon will set the carriage with the carried saw correctly to the file, for the second or linishing side ofthe filing. It beingnnderstood that for each side of the saw oreach timeV throughout the length of the Y `1,264,528 Y ia saw, the file only operates in every other or alternate gullet or space between the teeth,

such as' have the same angle of fleam. The

Vfile is Athen reversed infleam-angle for thev alternate `gullets or spacesA which were skipped the rst time over; each step `move- `ment always Abeing a distance equal to the size of two sawteeth. For the first side or first time through, the set pin is inserted in the corresponding perforations on the opposite'ends of the channel rail and plate base, designated by the letter S on the front face of the rail, signifying starting position;

' this applies as first position of the supportplate for allsaws, of any size or spacing o f teeth; as the notches or teeth on the selected saw-carriage racks control the length of steps. But for the second or finishing side f the support-plate must be positioned by selecting from lthe table of perforations 26,V

that one designated vby a numeral eorre spending withthe number of teeth to the inch on the saw to be filed and placing the set-pin in such perforation then turning the fastening screws home.V A similar tabulation of perforations 27 on thejsupport-plate and aset-pin 28, serve by like selection to back edge or rack.

T-head of the'carriage shown, is notched in set the stop-plate 29,-see Figs. 1, and 9,4 which limits the action of the`carr1age-moving-or stepping'pawl 30., at the end o-f each vstep movement,as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 9. Such adjustment is always to. be

made to tabularly accord'with that bywhich the support-plate is positioned. This stop plate is fastened inthe selected positions by the screws '3l disposed through the slot 32 in the support-plate. Y

The new T-bar saw-carriage 33, is toothed or notched on both edges of its head or fiange part, asshown in Figs. l and 9. The

horizontally disposed head slides longitudif na'lly in the guideways on the under side of the supportfplate and may be reversed to bring either 4rack edge toward the stepactu'ating mechanism disposed to engage the The back edge on the spaces equal to two teeth of the saw shown inserted. Therefore, the step `mechanism set to thetabulated positions, as shown in the illustrations, will move alternate gullets i or spaces of this saw tothe file, 'as desired.

This disposition of the carriage is also right for a saw having halfv the number ofteeth t0 an inch in length, viz: four teeth instead of eight as shown. For this`,.the set pins are shifted to perforations designatedby thel Y numerals l of the tables on the machine.

Thus adjusted, the step `mechanism will act at each impulse over two teeth or notches of the rack, bringing the alternate gullets or spaces of such asaw to the file. For convenience and correct operation the tabular numerals 4--8 pertaining Vto this rack edge are stamped right-side upv on the starting end 34: of thecarriage and the handle or i heel end of the saw is always disposed at theus'ame endthereunder, as" shown'. Re

versing this carriage bar, the opposite numerals 6--12at the starting end on one rack edge and the oppositeV edge and endf graduated and designated by the tabular numerals 7-14, I have filled the comple Vment of tabulation shown on the machine and are able by this provision to filesaws of eight different sizes' or spaces of teeth.A This covers the range of sizes of teeth in handsawsias generally used, by employing only two interchangeable carriage bars.

The front edge of the carriage bar head plate-slides loosely in the groove 35 in the lower branch of the base of the support-v plate. A thickened grooved edge 36 on the i stop-plate and a groovedguide bar 37 .at the opposite end of the support-plate supply 4guide-ways fory the back edge of theV carj so graduated notches ldesignated by the tabular riage. The long thin spring 38 is disposed longitudinally in the space between Vthe top' of the carriage-bar and Vunderside of the support-plate to which one end of the spring is fastened. This serves toyieldingly press the carriage down to a desired `predetermined position, but allows it to be fitted loosely for free endwise sliding. And the justifying pawl 39 `forces the `carriage latj i erally into the front guide-groove 35 fol lowing each step movement,-`-as will be hereinafter further described,thus co-acting with the spring above, continuously corresting and retaining the carriage in perfect lateral and vvertical adjustment to the iile.

`For removably fastening the saw on the step-by-step movement carriage, the heel or handle end is'secured by the angularshaped sheet-metal `bracket 40, having an `upstanding leg bolted to the side of the web or stem of vtheT-bar carriage. The horizontal plateleg of the bracket is imposed on the flat side of the wooden saw-handle, a corresponding plate'tl beneath the handle and a thumb-nutted bolt 42 disposed through these plates and the handle hand-hole, fase ten this end sufficiently secure. For the `toe or point of the Vsaw-blade a more efficient attachment consists of a channel plate 43 the j i channel disposed Vacross the top of thecarried saw-blade. An integral arm 44 has a vertical perforation, andf'a .corresponding perforation through the saiv-blade receives the close-tted bolt-.45 'to removably secure .the channel disposed .across on'the savvblade and projecting beyond the back :therecloseeiitted to. slide .the lateral channel andV is provided With ailongitudinal slot to receive .the fastening bolt 48 standing up 1from'theiveb..of tliechannel. :This slotted connection and the oblong hand holein the f hand-le alloWsthe saw-blade to be adjusted laterally on-the carriage .toward or from 'fithejleff And the perforation 4:9 through the sawfblade, once itis made,'alvvays brings the vrsaw to lcorrect endwise adjustment on thescarriageyand italso servesas `a con- To facilitate attaching the saw-blade to the carriage, when the carriage is, forconv-iveiiience, removed from the machine, andto` attain in so doingthe correct lateral ad- A ffjustment-oftlie blade on v.the carriage, I have provided the placing gage. illustrated in rc stantially straight.

VThe front end of this under branch is a .peripheral cam 64,-see Fig. 9,-engaging the back of the justifying .and locking. pawl 65, to .force itand the engaged carriage kbar forward into a set position, by a reverse or return swing of the lever after eaclrstepmovement. The step paivl 80 is. disposed` across beneath and has its pivot en d mounted on the wrist-pinscreiv 66seated ina. lateralbranch 67 of said under branch of the driver, as shown.

.The point of the step pawl is retained .out

of engagement with the carriage rack, While the vjustifying' paivl is correcting the posiltion of the carriage and retains it fastened,

by the curved fence extension 68 on the j ustifying paivl. The coil spring 69 is connected to continuously draw the point of the steppaivl .into engagement with the carriage rack or against said felice. vThe justifying pai'vl pivoted by the pivot-screw "70,V has an oppo- .sitey extension 7l standing beyond the back edge of the support-plate for manually disengaging the pawl. A compressed spring T72 interposed between this handle extension andthe adjacent carriage guide-bar 37, retains the justifying paivl normally in engagement With the carriage rack. If the step mechanism driver isreturned to an intermediate position of its movement, .for- Ward pressure on the handle end 7l will throwY the justifying pavvl out ofengagement with the rack, the. fence on this paWl will simultaneously carry the step pawl out of engagement and the carriage released may then be drawn out of or freely inserted in its guide-Ways Without Wearing the points of the -pawls The adjustable pivot-plate 56, on which the oscillatory driver is mounted, facilitates taking upV lost motion caused by Wear, especially that ofthe peripheral cam against the inclined curved back ofthe justifying pawl.V It is obvious that a forcible rigid locking must be effected and maintained at this point duringthe file-action, without cai'- rying the movements of the other connected v*elements too far beyond a completion of their functions. This pivot-plate is itself pivoted on the support-plateby thevertically disposed pivotal bolt 74:.V Its down-v wardly disposed boss 58 is disposed to swing forward in the clearance notch 75 on thev back edge of the support-plate, see Fig. 9, to move the pivot of the oscillatory driver forward toward the back of the justifying pawl. On the` edge oit' the pivot-plate, op-` Y posite? to its pivotal point, the two bolts 7 6 are disposed down through the slots 177 inV the support-plate to secure the pivotfplate at any position of adjustment.; l

The body of the movable jaw 21,'seelFig. 13, is anoblong rectangular plate 7 8 having -a forwardly-disposed head 79. It is itted to slide endwise in a vertical channel on the back of the top Vrail l of the machine frame, the face of its headstanding flush with the `frontoi the `rail and is retained therein. by the `base 6 ofthe support-plate and by the lower back-plate 80 fastened Vacross by screw-bolts, disposed through the centraldrop `81 at the center'of the rail, as

shown. A wire spring 82 fastenedV onthe face oi said top rail has its free end set to Vslid upwardly and open.
